Refuge: This provides single gender or single sex accommodation. The address will not be publicly available. Victims, including their children, will have access to practical support and a planned programme of therapeutic support (accessed through the Domestic Abuse Accommodation Support Framework).

Specialist Safe

Specialist Safe: Provides specialist safe accommodation offering single gender or single sex accommodation, alongside dedicated domestic abuse support which is tailored to also support those who share particular protected characteristic(s) and / or who share one or more vulnerabilities requiring additional support.

Dispersed

Dispersed: I. Safe (secure and dedicated to supporting victims of domestic abuse), self-contained accommodation with a similar level of specialist domestic abuse support (accessed through the Domestic Abuse Accommodation Support Framework) as provided within a refuge but which may be more suitable for victims who are unable to stay in a refuge with communal spaces, and/or where peer support from other residents may not be appropriate, due to complex support needs, or where older teenage sons cannot be accommodated in a women only refuge, for example. II. Safe (secure and dedicated to supporting victims of domestic abuse), self-contained 'semi-independent' accommodation which is not within a refuge but with support for victims who may not require the intensive support offered through refuge, but are still at risk of abuse from their perpetrator/s.
